Former Obama adviser calls for tax on carbon emissions | TheHill
The thought of middle class people being able to pay some of their bills, is apparently unacceptable to the Obama administration.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

They won’t be satisfied until everyone but the ruling political class, the intelligentsia, and the economic winners they pick are all on Government cheese.
February 27th 2015 will mark the 82nt anniversary of the Reichstag Fire (Germany’s Congress) in 1933.
Adolph Hitler used the Reichstag Fire as the pretense to pass the Enabling Act that allowed Hitler to rule Germany by Executive Decree. Our very own Hitler want-to-be is even as I type making plans to rule the United States by Executive Decree exactly like the evil fascists dictator did between 1933 to 1945.
Contact your GOP Senate and House members and ask them to carry a fire extinguisher and wear fire mans’ gear to the Capital Building on 02/27/2015 as a silent protest and reminder of where one man rule ultimately leads.
I just read this post on another blog. I think that it is a brilliant idea. If you agree then pass it on.
It is most punishing to bitter folk, who cling to guns or religion, urban dwellers don’t buy a lot of gasoline.
It was a real eye opener to me to meet middle class folks in NYC that rarely left their own little borough let alone got out of the city. Basically their entire life contained in a few blocks and many of them seemed quite satisfied with that. That is when I came to realize that big city sophistication is a myth.
That is exactly what the Elite want. Transit Villages aka feudalism. Telling their would be serfs that they are ‘superior’ to the gun toting bible thumping neanderthals in Flyover country is just another part of the brain washing.
If you read that article and substitute International Corporate Cartels for Lords: “Of the free tenures, the first was tenure in chivalry, principally grand sergeanty and knight service. The former obliged the tenant to perform some honourable and often personal service” The new ‘honourable and often personal service’ is producing campaign funds and endorsements and in return being granted a ‘monopoly’ or other protection from competition the modern version of a fiefdom.
“Another form of free tenure was the spiritual tenure of bishops or monasteries, their sole obligation being to pray for the souls of the grantor and his heirs.” Seems the Britannica left out the real reason why the king supported the ‘ bishops or monasteries’ -The brain washing they did to the serfs to get them to believe in ” The Divine Right of Kings” (Sounds like present day Academia and Media.)

Lyrics:
Seems nothing really changes just the names and methods of subjugation.
Gail, or anyone, a question completely out of context.
On what data and in what earth surface area is NASA claiming that 2014 is one of the earth’s warmest ? Anyone?
Your right gator, but the urban folks sure do sop up a lot of road building and maintenance funding, paid into the public treasury mostly by suburban and rural citizens, then the urbanites waste this gasoline tax money on Rapid Transit wet dream projects to nowhere.
For communism to succeed the middle class must be crushed.

Taxes are serfdom, but taxes can only go so far before people revolt unless income can replaced. Income is replaced with borrowing. Which makes sense since this country is a company town where instead of physical chains slavery is accomplished through debt.
If folks ever figured out how much of their wealth is actually stolen by the Banksters there would be a revolt the next day.
Only three percent of our money supply is cash the rest is ‘loans’ House loans, car loans, business loans, credit cards to pay for everything from groceries to haircuts, college loans (Ever wonder why there is such a big push to get everyone a college degree?) Every single one of those loans is printed out of thin air but every single one has to be paid back with your labor with interest and fees attached. Even if you pay off your credit card in full each month the vendor has to pay a transaction fee and that will be passed on to you.
If you are not paid in cash (Very rarely happens these days) and do all your business in cash. And that is really tough to do these days, then you are ripped off by the banksters.
Big Brother people. Not only do they want you poor they also want to know where you are every moment of the day and store all this information forever.
Just imagine what an evil dictator could do with all this information.
Who needs to imagine?
Even more ominous, imagine what a Simon Legree or other ruthless overseer could do with that information! Also with that information it would be very easy to register or reregister millions of new or phony voters. Did I just hear Billary Clinton’s cash register go K- Ching K-Ching?
is anyone surprised? This is what the global warming scam has been about all along. Convince the sheeple there’s a problem they can all help solve with a modest tax, and they’ll be less inclined to complain. This is precisely why ‘progressive’ governments around the planet have conspired for years to ‘adjust’ temperature, ice, and sea level data.
Rational people need to bring class action suits against their governments for fraud.
He’s right, though. It’s a great time to pass a new tax, especially if it’s a percentage rather than a flat per gallon tax. Then when gas prices go back up in a year or two, everybody who doesn’t ride the bus is well & truly fucked.
This proposal is weird to me on so many levels.
First, gas taxes are a regressive tax which hits middle class commuters the hardest, not the ‘fat cats’ the administration claims to be targeting.
Second, the taxes and fees associated with gas are already staggering. We’re already paying an average of 48.8 cents per gallon in federal and state taxes, another 4.3 cents in credit card transaction fees, and another 8-10 cents in cost for marketing that same gas to us.
In total only about 50% of the total bill is actually for the underlying cost of obtaining, refining and delivering the gas.
This what the AGW meme was/is always about. It was always about getting your money and your rights. The new taxes in California will punish “polluters” but it rewards the ruling class. That money goes into a huge slush fund that elected officials can use to buy votes and pay off supporters. This is exactly why the pope supports the AGW meme. He too expects to share in some of the money and power being doled out. No not personally but to spend as he chooses. This will not end, even when the proof is obvious to everyone that AGW is a scam the politicians will still be passing laws to extract more from you. It is too good to give up and must be destroyed and a stake driven through it’s heart before it will stop sucking blood from your neck.
Obama will soon be taxing your breath.
• CO2 data shows nobody’s dead from a little carbon dioxide – ‘A little CO2 won’t hurt you. A lot of CO2 won’t hurt you. You breathe out 40,000 ppm with every breath. Do you worry about California banning YOU from breathing out?’
The following summarizes levels of CO2 under various conditions:
40,000 ppm: The exhaled breath of normal, healthy people.
8,000 ppm: CO2 standard for submarines
2,500 ppm: CO2 level in a small hot crowded bar in the city
2,000 ppm: The point at which my CO2 meter squawks by playing Fur Elise
1,000 to 2,000 ppm: Historical norms for the earth’s atmosphere over the past 550 million years
1,000 to 2,000 ppm: The level of CO2 at which plant growers like to keep their greenhouses
1,000 ppm: Average level in a lecture hall filled with students
600 ppm: CO2 level in my office with me and my husband in it
490 ppm: CO2 level in my office working alone
390 ppm: Current average outdoor level of CO2 in the air
280 ppm: Pre-industrial levels in the air, on the edge of “CO2 famine” for plants
150 ppm: The point below which most plants die of CO2 starvation
Good list, thank you.
Do tell!
a lot of heavy breathing going on ;^D
“150 ppm: The point below which most plants die of CO2 starvation.”
………
What is interesting is the fact the point where plants starve has been changed to fit the rigged Ice core data.
I have in my very old notes “200 pm CO2 trees starve” http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=912067
but the link no longer works… Now all the searches turn up papers showing 180 ppm or lower….HMMMmmmm
I back then I check a couple of studies. The 180 -200 ppm CO2 for trees is now based on “models” derived from the ice cores. GRRRrrrr
Then there is this from a book on Tomato plants.
CO2 depletion in a greenhouse
The middle class is the anathema to socialists. They must be eradicated.
Carbon taxes are essential to fund useless committee and administrative passions to cronies in the service of leftist causes under the guise of saving the world.
The best part deals with the limited impact on consumers due to the windfall being enjoyed by lower gas prices. Windfall. Words are powerful things.
enjoyed “through” lower gas prices.
Sorry.
East of the Rockies will experience below seasonal temperatures as air masses that originated in Siberia cross over the North Pole before plunging south into Canada. The cold air crossing the open waters of the Great Lakes will produce narrow bands of lake effect snow, with dangerous travel conditions in the traditional snowbelt regions south and east of the lakes.

Wasn’t Larry Summers the president of Harvard until he said something that offended some progressive women professors? He took quite a beat down for making a suggestion. Others were asking a group of men and women present at an open discussion on why more women don’t go into science. Poor Larry asked those present if they had ever considered that women don’t like science as much as men do. It wasn’t something he necessarily believed in, he just wanted to make sure it was included in the discussion. He got pilloried over that comment and had to resign his position.
God forbid he should ever bring up Bill Clintons sex life to the same group. Oh wait………….Bill Clintons sex life is off limits to progressives. You must turn your head the other way, or stick it in the sand when it comes to discussing Clinton straying off the Hillary reservation if you are a progressive.
OMG! NOOoooo..
